Description: | A complete copper alloy medieval annular brooch. The hoop is oval in cross-section with parallel diagonal grooves on the outer face, each containing double engraved dotted lines in the centre. There is a recess to one side which holds the pin. This has a cast head with a slight collar behind it and a rectangular cross-sectioned pin. The brooch survives in good condition with a small amount of surface corrosion.Egan and Pritchard (1991, 253, fig.163, nos.1325, 1331 and 1334) illustrate three similar examples from excavations in London, the first from a context dated AD 1270-1330, the second from one dated AD 1350-1400, and the third AD 1200-1230, suggesting a broad 13th to 14th century date range. Diameter: 26.85mm, thickness: 2.71mm, weight: 3.92g
